OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind.  In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships."  OPSEC is everyone's responsibility. 

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.  

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Welcome PlayOutside! Yes, we periodically meet in or around Boise. Tried one last Christmas, but everyone was too busy. Maybe we can all meet sometime this summer.

Kim...decision has been made to hold the wedding and reception in our backyard...we live on a lake with a view of the mountains...pray for good weather!

Ok moms....I need your help.  Just found out we will be holding a wedding May 29th.  Got any suggestions for someplace to hold it that won't cost too much?  Needs to be in or very near Boise.

Just got a text from Kay they made it home to the US.  She and the intermural USNA Women's Rugby team traveled to Ireland during spring break to play in a tournament.  We had pretty much no contact with her th entire time.  I think she was able to post on her facebook page 1-2 times.  Hope all is well wih everyone.  Anybody thinking about putting together a get together?

This is a fear tactic....military pay will be issued if the federal government shuts down. Mail will continue to be delivered also.
